This is a grand dame of a ryokan hotel next to a beautiful river with a scenic view of a suspension bridge and cliff. The hotel is very worn and in real need of a renovation, but the staff keep it as clean as they can. This is not a glamorous hotel and is definitely past its prime. However, that's not why you come here. You come to this ryokan for the hospitality, the well-maintained spa, the family activities, which are numerous (outdoor pool, manga reading room, mahjong, billiards, table tennis and karaoke) and its convenient location to the train station and the river. The buffet breakfast and dinner are delicious, the staff is very friendly and hard-working and there is an endless supply of choose-your-own yukata by the front desk. This is a quiet town and the sidewalk rolls up early as well as the activities in the hotel, which makes it a good, wholesome place for a family with young children or teens.

A great hotel, excellent ambience and surrounding environment. Staff do not communicate in English. But first time I ever feel one of the staff did something dishonorable in Japan was to cancel our booking slot for a private onsen and gave it to another. I have never encountered this in Japan before.

This place has very much seen better days. I didn't arrive in time to try their restaurants so I can't be any judge of that, but the rooms had no AC, I found an Ant twice in my room (and you know if you find one then there are MORE !), hair on my sheets, and everything had a very worn and stained look (walls, wallpaper, etc). The Onsen part wasn't too good either. A lot of the hallways had half hazard done patches from holes punched or kicked into the walls. When I talked to the staff about my room they apologized and that was it. When I left they gave me $10 vouchers for next time I visit (I WON'T !).

事情があり、部屋の風呂を使用したかったのですが、お湯をしばらく出していても水しか出なかったので、部屋の風呂を諦めました。 それと、部屋の湯沸かしポットですが、保温にならず、ずっと沸騰状態になっていたので、壊れているポットは交換した方が良いと思いました。 フロントの方は、丁寧な説明をしてくださったので親切だと感じました。

ゆっくり温泉につかりたくて鬼怒川に一人旅。豪華な食事やハイレベルなサービスを期待していないので、十分満足。さすがは伊藤園ホテルズ。コスパをあげるための工夫が随所に見られた。 古い建物で寂れた旅館。味があって個人的には好き。 食事は、よくある安い食べ放題レストランと同レベル。飲み放題もあり、十分満足。 特別で非日常を味わいたい方にはおすすめできないので、ご注意を。 気軽に温泉に来たい方には、いいと思う。
